2008-09-04T23:22:00.000+08:00

1 more day~

why do i haf the feeling that i forget to bring something?

2 days time!

2008-09-04T12:30:00.003+08:00

daron- yesh 9am (if i can wake up)

and

Clinique Happy for Men (biggest bottle)
Ciggies (get the details down from previous post)
Booze

additional for brother: Cinelle Moisture Glow, Photocopy of dad's credit card and IC both front and back. *fen's mum will pass some stuff over, so u just bring it over too*

remember to pack all liquids into the luggage and all food to be declared in the handcarry

call me after u guys pass customs and declaration.

take this number down

Perth Airport City Shuttle 92777958 (may have to add a +61)
Appartment Address: Wellington Place 34 / 125 Wellington st East Perth
Person in charge- Brett Divich, 0438 978 964 (remove the 0 and add +61 in front instead)

she asked us to call her at least one hour before arrival or upon arrival at the airport so that someone can meet you on site to hand over keys and access codes.

so what happens is u guys call me after declaration and i'll ring her up to inform her that we are arriving soon.

see ya!

help me ask leh

2008-09-03T10:48:00.003+08:00

hey guys , check names and visa carefully, declare food cos they are very strict. Ok the shuttle bus wait are 30-45 min after the plane landed. I was initially worried that the declaration will take long bit there's another flight arriving at 720. Declaring took around less than 15 mins for me, so it ain't that bad. I'll leave it up to u guys then, if nt just leave it the stuff back in sg. Cause I dunno what u guys be doing if u reach city too early. Think I will only meet u guys at 9pm, at the apartment. We'll check in together as they need my passport. Enjoy the premier tonight!

Music, I duno, but there's always my laptop.

2008-09-03T02:15:00.000+08:00

ya. Harris please bring e tickets later on at the premiere. Thx. As for the mooncake I think if want bring just bring but dunno will be detained for how long while they check it.

Mooncake

2008-09-03T00:19:00.002+08:00

just a quick update. Gugu has given me the mooncakes already so I suggest we go ahead with bringin it over. Btw, anyone got lobang for iPod speakers? Was thinking we can play music in the apartment constantly. Or any other suggestions about music?

Oh ya Harris, do u have the flight tickets with u already? I think we better check the names all that tml(wed). Call me ok.

only 3 more days! I can smell the kangaroos already!

2008-09-02T23:41:00.001+08:00

If its such a hassle to bring food items, i think we shld juz drop the idea of bringing it. Unless if u all dun mind waiting while the items are being declared.

important details

2008-09-02T18:42:00.002+08:00

good day

i've check with ppl and to declare food items will take a long time to clear so can we rediscuss about the bringing of food

yes the flight is SQ 225
est arrival time is 0620AM

we'll be departing on the 15 of sept at 1555PM

2008-09-02T12:15:00.003+08:00

oi fag, give me the flight details;

isit sq255? what time touch down perth? (IMPORTANT)
when exactly are u guys leaving perth?
checked the perth shuttle, $35AUD for the 3 of u, so its pretty alright. will send u straight to the apartment

and the email from the apartment lady

======
Hi Melissa,

That’s fine, at this stage the morning is still free.

The credit card details front and back and photo id for your dad is great I also need a photocopy of your passport. Please have these ready when you arrive.

Look forward to seeing you in Perth

Best regards
=======

so nick, settle dad's stuff.

tentative plan is -> get ciggies @ dfs SG, get alcohol @ dfs PERTH, clear through custom, declare stuff, come out airport, turn left, there will be this perth airport city shuttle bus. hop on, pay the driver $35AUD CASH ONLY and tell him where to drop u guys off. i'll meet u guys straight at the apartment, put our luggage with them, and head off for brunch

get this down (our address)

Property: Wellington Place 34 / 125 Wellington st East Perth

and lastly.................

1 MORE F**KING WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

exactly one week time!

2008-08-29T10:27:00.002+08:00

greetings from down under!

its a drag getting up in the morning - imagine getting up when its raining cats and dogs outside x 3. this is how cold and comfy it is.

and nice job daron! for a min i thought u were too busy spiking balls or something. just 1 question, why is it only your photo that is clear? i got a shock when i load the page and saw my brother's face.
and calorie calculator? hah! we sure need that

nick-> need lao pei creditcard details la.. cause we use his card to pay, need to show them, else every other people can walk in and claim that they are richard ang.

and yes please pack this -

-> bee tng (mum buying)
-> mooncake (gu gu buying)
-> clinelle moisture glow (nick, get it from my table, i think there's two. don't take the empty 1)

as for the duty free,

1 x Malboro Menthol Lights (white base with green)
2 x Malboro Lights (White base with gold)

get from SG side, its around SGD20$
take note that Malboro Menthol light and malboro menthol looks the same.

AND, we can bring in 2.25L of alcohol.
Can either buy it from SG Side (i think vodka and bacardi, baileys etc those commoner ones are cheaper in sg), but u can get more variety in perth.

fyi, i already got one midori. they haveing a 2 for 59AUD promo now, i think its rather worth it than u get it from liquor store.
so, pack light- esp hand carry so u have all the hands to carry the liquor!

(can someone be appointed to record the above down? u guys sort out among urself over the weekend)

and just called gugu, she say AUD drop again.
so u guys could change it now

let me know again about the prepaid card

it's fridayyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

- discussed with my friends about bringing u guys to the pizza place up the 'hill' (an hour drive)! the desert pizzas are really to die for.

- i asked the apartment ppl what they need to see upon checking in. i will tell u guys when they reply me, and nick will settle that with dad

-there's a list of things i need u guys to help me bring over. for now is just honeycomb (the one we use to make honeywater at ah ma house) and ya, realizing that mooncake festival will be over when i get back.. i think u can help bring mooncake over (since u are declaring the honeycomb anyway) will let u guys know! including my moisturizer

9 MORE DAYS!!

Virgin Post

2008-08-27T03:24:00.000+08:00

Hey guys, i'm happily back @ Perth.

The internet's pretty screwed up at the moment, so its much easier posting here (and we can look back at this in future, or add on for future trips)

Updates:

Weather here is great! I swear that my skin got 100times better overnight and whatever 'pu jua' i'm facing just disappear - to prove, no more bak sai okies!

The sun's back on, so bring ur sunnies... but its rather cooling and gets colder at night.

but i doubt it will bother us (tough angs' skin) much, so just pop a jacket into your bag will do just fine.

oh and if you're those kind who likes snuggley warm feelings in bed, i suggest you share a bed with fag or bring a nice pair of pants and long sleeves tee as ur pjs (i'm currently wearing my spain jersey and adidas track pants, but i'm well equipped with a thick quilt + 2 fleece, i'm not sure what kind of blanket the apartment provides though)

and i was just discussing with aunt alice about prepaid cards and autoroaming- well, you guys can use my phone to call back sg, no problem. but i'm wondering if we need to call each other during our stay @ perth? what ya think?...of course u guys can stick to autoroaming, or get a aussie prepaid card for 30AUD which gives you $120 worth of credit - u can text or make calls (within aussie and back to sg are the same rates!)

think about it and let me know- i have to get it earlier and activate them for you.

will try to get smart riders (perth version of ezlink) for you beforehand too.

and i've arranged for dinner (perhaps lunch) at this place which serves really really good ribs, follow by drinks/poker at my friend's place nearby (the place i'm currently staying)

can't wait! see ya guys soon!

ps: keep this going

pss: what's fag email? can someone invite him as an author so he can post entries too?
